Does the water level seem too low, or does the washer

Washer stops, won'tfill, rinse or agitate

appear to not fill completely?

The top of the agitator is

 

much higher than

the

highest water level. This is normal and

 

necessary

for clothes

to move

freely.

 

Has a household

fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker

 

tripped?

Replace

the

fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the

 

problem continues, call an electrician.

Are you using an extension cord? Do not use an extension cord.

Is the washer overloaded? Wash smaller loads.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded (earthed) outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Checkthe following:

Is the power cord plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet?

Is the indicator on the Cycle Control knob properly lined up with a cycle? Turn the Cycle Control knob to the right slightly and pull to start.

Are both the hot and cold water faucets turned on? Is the water inlet hose kinked?

Are the water inlet valve screens clogged? Turn off the water and remove inlet hoses from the washer. Remove any accumulated film or particles. Reinstall hoses, turn on water and check for leaks.

Washer won't drain or spin

Is the drain hose clogged, or the end of the drain hose more than 96" (244 cm) above the floor? See the Installation Instructions for proper installation of drain hose.

Is the lid open? The lid must be closed to operate.

Is there excessive sudsing? Always measure detergent. Follow manufacturer's directions.

Washer continues to fill or drain, cycle seems stuck

Is the top of drain hose lower than the water level in washer? The top of the hose must be higher than the water

level in the washer for proper operation. See the Installation Instructions.

Does the drain hose fit too tightly in the standpipe, or is it taped to the standpipe? The drain hose should be loose yet fit securely. Do not seal the drain hose with tape. The hose needs an air gap. See the Installation Instructions.

Wash temperature not what I selected

Is the lid open? The lid must be closed during operation. Washer will not agitate or spin with the lid open.

Are the hot and cold water inlet hoses reversed? See the Installation Instructions for more information. As your frequency of loads washed increases, the water temperature may decrease for hot and warm temperature selections. This is normal.
